Simplistic

I was fascinated with that very strange thin cloud which formed a single line. It was booring by itself, so I had to include other stuff too.
I think it's probably a condensation trail from an aircraft, actually. Like it, whatever :)

@smalbon I thought it was too at first but I actually think this was some kind of cloud, cos it gets thicker on the other end. Very very weird anyway.

Lovely and I like the other stuff too....

That is an unusual cloud! Lovely blue sky!

Excellent composition. Love the simplicity but you have so much to look at that is interesting.:):)..awesome moon. strange cloud is probably a contrail from a plane...:)

Nice composition... love the blue sky!
May 20th, 2013  
I love the composition, with the lines and the moon in the middle. It's a very well balanced image. Well seen!

I like the half-moon in the blue sky.

I think contrails are great, we don't see them often here because of the warmer atmosphere... well, I think that's why. Maybe we don't have enough planes, lol.

Imagination is all it takes, great composition:) reminds me of a golf club and the ball is atmospheric so it isn't round...LOL, just having fun:)

Love the composition and the simplicity

Wonderful composition, the detail below gives definition to what is above, good choice.

@smalbon I think you´re right, it probably was a condensation trail from an aircraft. I watched a plane go this morning on my way to work and leave excatly a trail like that. Can´t believe how low they are flying! Now be honest, did you order that plane to go excatly at right time to teach me as a lesson ;D ? I shouldn´t have doubted a cloud master himself :)

@denidouble Thank you Deni!

@valanne Thank you Valerie, not so sure anymore it was a cloud thou

@nanderson Thank you Nancy, so it probably is :)

@pandora Thank you Susan

@sturnus Thank you Carol for your great comment

@tristansmum Thank you Stephanie, I´m a big fan of the moon too!

@fishy I´ve never seen ones that go this low, they´re usually so high in the sky. No definitely don´t think that´s cos of lack in planes when considering your country :D!



@eu4ria1 Thank you Ria, it´s okey to have fun!

@joyce2013 Thank you Joyce, simplicity appeals to me too

@sansjuan Thank you Nita, yes I kind of hoped it would.

Fun shot with three distinct elements - the lamp, the moon and the cloud/contrail -thingy. Very good idea to include them all in this shot. I'm thinking the composition is a bit centered, but was there something distracting outside the frame ? Also, a post-processing tip if you want to try out some GIMPing : Create a new empty layer on top of this image, fill it with black color. Then set the layer in OVERLAY mode --> This will create a darker, more contrast-y feel and should make those clouds pop even more. See, I wrote you a short story :)
May 21st, 2013  
@susale yep, that was me, ordering up a contrail ;-)
May 21st, 2013  
Weirdly enough, reminds me of a video game where you use the bat (lamp post) to bounce a ball (moon) to break the wall (cloud) .... I must get out more!

@janim Thank you for your short story Jani, I appreciate it and the tips too, very much :) Thank you for such detailed instructions, mistä sä tiesitkin, etten mä ole kauhean hyvä noiden layereiden kaa ;). Yes there were some trees there but I suppose I could have found a better spot if I would have moved a bit but didn´t think about it at the time, silly me :) Most definitely going to test that layer thing on this... too bad there´s no way to repost anything here without losing all the comments but then again it´s all about learning so next time I could get it right at the first try, right :)

@ch1ppy_m1nton Hey, I did shoot that last night! It actually was my second choice but chose this one. How weird that there´s a game like that!
May 21st, 2013  
@susale hahaha I didn't say this was wrong, right ? :) You can also try to duplicate the image and set the top layer to overlay mode. It will enhance the overall contrast and boost the color... if it feels like too much, just adjust the opacity slider on the overlay'ed layer :)

Juu et sanonut mutta mä oonkin kova tyttö lukemaan rivien välistä ;)
Hei kiitos tosi paljon näistä vinkeistä, oot aivan mielettömän kiva, kun viittit näitä mulle laittaa :) :) :)

I like the way the cloud mimics the electricity line. I also like the idea of the 3 components.

@happysnap Thank you Linda, yes it kind of does, that fascinated me
